A few of Lu King's men guided Kane and Yuma out of the base. They exited from an abandon building that had several tunnels underneath it. Not surprising that much. The man only walked with them till they reached the doorway then they just sort of turned around and walked back.

Yuma and her group walked toward the town of Reaver's Peak. It was just a small earth nation town that didn't look to rich in resources, but neither poor either. It appeared they had enough to make it by. The buildings were all made of stone, and rocks, as if they lived inside large boulders with windows, but that didn't stop them from appreciating aesthetic beauty.

Flowers were just as abundant as the people itself. Mostly Crag Lilies, brown flowers with white speckled spots on them that grew near the watery areas was what Reaver's Peak were famous for, at least, that is was Kane explained to Yuma as they walked past a small pond with a mass of them huddled around it.

Though Crag Lilies weren't the only one to grow in such a place. The normal flowers like Desert Roses, Thornepike, and Eagle-Eye Fleur grew there too. Either way, it was quite a beautiful place to visit and look at.

A deer frog, a frog that was about the size of about a young lamb and with antlers, approached a rather large green plant with a head that represented a large gaping mouth. The deer frog fired his tongue to the small antling that was in it and before it could retract the gaping mouth of the plant fired down at the frog, trapping it inside.

"Whoa!" Yuma said, with surprise, but with equal amusement too.

"Ah, the beautiful, but deadly Carnivorous Peach Plant."

"Carnivorous Peach Plant?" Yuma asked.

"Yeah, do you smell that," Kane gave a small whiff of the air. "Smells like peaches."

Yuma did the same. "Hey, you're right. I didn't notice that till now."

"That's how a Carnivorous Peach Plant catches it's prey. It draws them in with the smell of peaches then munches down on them like that poor animal there."

The deer frog was no longer twitching, the leg being the only part showing now, but it was slowly being slipped inside.

"That's so cool~" Yuma said with a small giggle. Kane couldn't help, but laugh slightly. "So do you guys come here often?"

"We have to, it's our usual place for food supplies." Kane explained.

"Makes sense, so where can we find this Air Nomad?"

"I heard she likes quiet, secluded places that appears very spiritual. I'm not to sure what kind of places are spiritual." Kane admitted.

"No worries, I can help with that." Yuma said cheerfully and walked into town. The people didn't seem to mind them as they came through, to the townspeople they were just some more tourists. Yuma was keeping a careful ear and eye out though, and finally she saw the person she was looking for.

There was a Firefly Spirit hovering over a group of young children, who appeared to be teasing the poor spirit.

She stomped over to the group of children and barked at them bitterly. "Hey you kids! Leave that Spirit alone!"

"Huh?" The group of kids looked up at her and smiled. "Hey Missy, why not make fun of it with us! They are funny looking and are weiiiirrrd~" Spoke one of the kids, giggling as he grabbed a rock and threw it at the Firefly Spirit.

Another kid grabbed a rock and was about to throw it when Yuma grabbed the child's arm and removed the rock. "You all should be ashamed of yourself! Tormenting a Spirit like that!"

"But it looks funny!" Several of children said in unison.

"Just because it looks funny doesn't mean you have a right to pick on it! What if that was you, would you want to be picked on like that?"

"My mother says that we will never look like that because we are better and smarter than them."

Yuma could feel her blood boiling just talking to the kind of parent would tell their child that Spirit's are lesser beings than them? What gives them the right? Yuma took a deep breath and looked at the children with calm eyes, though it was masking her deep anger at the moment.

"You're mom says that Spirits are lesser beings, why is that?"

"Because we are civilized and have structural homes and jobs while the Spirits live in trees, mud, and in other wild things. Plus we are more sophisticated!"

Yuma was slightly surprised to hear a big word come from a child's mouth. Didn't matter though.

"Spirits are not any more lesser than you and me, and if I had to pick, humans would have to be the lesser beings. We are nothing, but greedy people who care only for monetary value and don't give a–" She was about to swear, but caught herself. "We don't care about other beings other than our own and sometimes we don't even care about our own people."

The child stared up at her for a moment and then sighed. "Fine, we will stop. I'm telling my mom though." The other kids nodded and repeated what he said before running off.

"T-Thank you…" Spoke the Firefly Spirit. He was a bright yellowish-green spirit with two pairs of wings, small black eyes, and two pairs of hands and legs, they were more bug like, containing three fingers or claws.

"No problem, I was just doing what I believed was right. Humans have no right to be treating Spirits this way."

"You really think so?" Said the Firefly Spirit, his voice was rather childish.

"Yeah, I do. We should be getting along, not fighting. Korra didn't open the Spirit Portals for us to go to war again."

The Spirit smiled and nodded. "Y-You're right. Uh, my name is Buzco."

"Nice to meet you Buzco, my name is Yuma, these are my friends Mányú and Xi Wang, and of course my friend Kane!"

Kane just smiled and raised his hand up. Buzco smiled at each of them.

"Maybe you can help us Buzco,"

"Of course, what can I help you with?"

"I'm looking for an Air Nomad named Sky, and I heard she was here and that her usual places are where there is a lot of Spiritual Energy. Do you happen to know where a place like that might be?"

Buzco made a buzzing sound… which Yuma presumed to be a laugh. "Of course! I wouldn't be much of a Spirit if I couldn't tell you that. Come with me, I will show you." The Firefly Spirit began flying towards the hill a little out of the city gates, not even two blocks. A path lead them up the hill and in the middle was a small pond and there was a woman with Airbending tattoos on her forehead. She was sitting in the middle of the pond, eyes closed and in a focused state.

"There she is," Buzco said and flew over towards the pond. Sky didn't move or even acknowledge the presence of the Spirit.

"What exactly is she doing?" Kane asked.

"Meditating, perhaps she is in the Spirit World." She said, but before Yuma could say another word a voice interrupted her.

"You are here to learn airbending?" Spoke the woman in the pond. She stared up at Yuma with her gray eyes, no present emotion on her face.

"Huh?"

"I will not repeat myself again, are you here to learn airbending?"

"Oh, yes, yes I am. My name is–"

"Yuma Zei, I know who you are."

Yuma gulped. "You do?"

"Yes, the Spirits told me that a young airbender would be coming by to learn airbending, they didn't tell me much else though," Sky said standing up. She was much taller than Kane and Yuma, probably almost six feet. "I won't deny the Spirits who told me about you, so I will teach you airbending while I am here, which isn't for long."

"Oh yes! Even for a little would just be wonderful! Thank you!" Yuma said jumping up in jubilation.

"Now is not the time to show excitement, once you've made progress then you can. Now, let's begin. Show me what you can do."

Yuma planted a smirk on her face and motioned her arm forward, sending a gust of wind towards Sky who just stared at Yuma and just moved the left side of her body to the side, dodging the attack. Yuma sent gusts of wind after wind after her, but Sky just literally moved like the wind. Sky jumped up in the air and brought the edges of her hand together and sent a burst of wind down on Yuma, though she did dodge it, Yuma swiped her leg across the ground, sending a air sweet at Sky who just landed, but Sky simply blocked it with another leg sweep, and before Yuma had time to reach Sky fired another blast of wind, knocking Yuma right off her feet and almost off the hill. She would have fallen if Kane didn't grab her hand.

"T-Thanks Kane…" Yuma said and got back on solid ground and looked at Sky who...didn't look to impressed with her performance.

"You call yourself an airbender? You don't move like one for starters, you move more like a rough earthbender that doesn't quite know her surroundings just yet.

"Well I haven't had much practice." Yuma said.

"Obviously, I would suggest going to an Air Temple and practicing, but I can see you wouldn't do to well there," Sky said, smiling now. "I will teach you what I know. First of all, feel the air around you, it will make you quick and nimble, plus there is a saying, Flowing with the Wind I suggest doing that."

Sky moved around, it was like she was dancing and the wind around her danced as well. It was quite..beautiful. Even some of the Spirits were entranced. Then she stopped.

"That was beautiful, is that what airbending about? Swift, careful movements?"

"Yes, some of it. Though I have met a few airbenders that use a different style. I'm just showing you mine and you can manipulate it how you want to, then perhaps you can discover a new way to use the air around you."

"I'm ready to learn!"

"Good, because I won't let you rest till you mastered it."

Sky was a woman of her word. She wouldn't let Yuma rest until she mastered something about airbending, it being the natural movements, how to properly use an air scooter, which for some reason she enjoyed using.

Yuma was indeed getting better though, moving like the wind and dodging attacks swiftly, calmly, and cooly. It impressed Sky how quick she was learning.

"You are getting better Yuma. Much better than when you started training with me awhile ago." Sky said.

Yuma bowed to Sky. "I thank you for teaching me how to airbend Sky, it really was a major help."

Sky smiled at her. "No problem, I do hope I see you again sometime, but for now I must move on. I'm heading to the Eastern Air Temple so I have to go now." Sky whistled and an air bison descended from the sky a few moments later. Sky jumped onto the bisons back and looked back at Yuma. "Don't do anything too dangerous."

"No promises!" Yuma shouted at her happily. "Take care Sky!"

Sky nodded. "Yip Yip Cloud!" And then she was gone.

Yuma waited till she was a good distance away before firing barrage after barrage of air at the surroundings around her. Her airbending was much stronger now, much more controlled. "Excellent!"

"Well that was quite the training. I'm sort of glad I wasn't involved in it." Kane said, walking up the hill with Xi Wang by his side. Mányú was sleeping in the pond with some spirits.

"Indeed, but I think I've Mastered airbending, so next is fire, can you help me with that Kane?"

"Helping the Dark Avatar with Fire Bending? I would be most honored." Kane said with a smirk.

"Good! Because I need to Master all four elements, blah blah blah, and then I can have some fun!" She chuckled. "So let's head back to Lu King, I'm sure if we are gone any longer he might send a search party for us."

"Actually," Kane started. "They have been watching us this whole time."

"What? Really?"

"Really, we are quite good at hiding ourselves." He nodded over to a young peasant walking by, and the peasant looked up at the slightly. Yuma frowned and sent a gush of air down at the peasant knocking the hood off of him showing a familiar face of Radbury.

"Oh, it's you. How long have you been spying on us?"

Rad glanced at Kane then to Yuma. "Ever since you left, we couldn't have you spilling our secrets so Lu King made sure that you didn't….but you didn't. He is also wondering when you are coming back."

"Right now," Kane said. "So don't worry about it Radbury."

"Yeah, so we will see you back at the base." Yuma said and walked down the hill with her friends and back towards the abandoned building that lead to Lu King's base.

News had already spread that Yuma was the Dark Avatar. Some seemed to be gaping at her, while others stared at her with disbelief and wanted proof she was, in fact, the Dark Avatar. So she demonstrated by showing off her new and improved airbending…. but then a weaker and not yet mastered white flame. She certainly was the talk of the town–Er...base! Talk of the base for a good long while.

Since they arrived back, Yuma has been training with Kane for her firebending. She was picking it up rather quickly for someone who didn't know the basics of it. Though it was still weak and not as powerful as Kane's and she doubt it ever would be too, but that didn't stop her from trying.

It was about late afternoon, Kane was helping Yuma fire her fuel for a more powerful flame when Lu King approached them. Several Hybrids at his side. It was almost like prostitutes following a rich, greasy man… the similarities.

"Yuma, Kane." Lu King spoke, his voice rather serious.

Kane bowed, but Yuma didn't, she just stared at him. Lu King didn't seem to mind though.

"I want your opinion Yuma."

"My opinion? Oh, how low you must have fallen to come for my opinion." Yuma snickered.

"No, I believe you to be one of the smartest ones here–"

"What about Ma–"

"Besides Manish Moon Varrick...I need a..woman's perspective."

"Oh, haha well maybe if you didn't kill or turn every woman you encountered you could get their opinion to Lu King."

"Valued advice Yuma, doesn't mean I will value it," Lu King said with a small laugh. "Anyway, the increase of missing women have raised some suspicion I was hoping you knew of some ways to… catch them."

"Hah, you make it sound like some sort of prize, no matter. I think what you need is a girl to help in this, if girls are missing, then they won't suspect another girl kidnapping them."

"That is…..interesting, but the only girl that isn't a Hybrid or caged is–"

"Me! I know, it will give me some time to get out and get some fresh air! So what say you?" Yuma gave him a smug grin.

"Fine, fine, I can...allow this, but I don't want any trickery going on."

"Don't worry, I don't plan to...anytime soon." She said, whispering the last part only where Kane could hear and he just gave a smile in return.
